OCTOBER 2007

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS:
As many of you know, we were hit by a tropical storm two weeks ago; it was desaster… This storm has been one of the worse stroms that has ever hit the country. A lot of people die and many desapear. The reason why this strom was so bad for the country is because the media didn´t do a good job telling people about the storm coming. It got us by surprise. The good thing about this storm has been that the country has come together helping each other out. In our community, my brother and I when around asking people for donations. We used the radio station and the church to spread the word about it…Let me tell you that I was surprise with all the things that we got from people. People I was never expecting anything from, that were not even from church, came up to us to give up clothing. G.O. Ministries also made a big constribution for the cause. After we got enough stuff, we drove them up to Batey 9 (almost 6 hour away from here) to help the people there because their community was also a victim of the storm. I ask you to pray for these people because it is a really bad situation to be part of.
Last we we had a mini-familly conference for the families of those in our youth group. It was good, we also had visitors that I have never seen in church before and they had a good time. This was seminar that we want to have at least three times a year.
This has also been a month full of blessings for me. One of the things that I wa bless with was getting a lasek eye surgery for free… Dr. Schmitt did for me. This has been something that I have need it for a couple years now, because as many of you know, with the ministry we travel a lot, specially to the bateys and those are places where it was hard for me to keep my contacts clean. I always has irritate eyes (not fun) specially after working construccion, but now, thanks to Mr. Schmitt and his wonderful staff I now can see perfect and that is just a dream come true.
We just got an emplifier for our base player. We have been needing one for the last 4 months and we finally got it. We are exited because the church´s sound system is good but it is not good to plug the base into it because it can drestoy it quit. Now we don´t have to worry about that anymore. There still some other things that we want to get like: another pianno speacially for our trips, a sound system and some mics. So please pray for these things and if you hear of a church that is getting a new sound system and is not using the old one or if you know of anybody who wants to give a contribution to a misionary let me know because anything can be useful for us.

HOW IS GOD WORKING IN YOU?

Last couple months a have been growing spiritually a lot. This is something that I have been seeking not just for my self but also for the youth group. We have the thirst of learning more from the bible, we are seeking to have a genuine relationship with Christ. We don´t all the answer to be given to us, we want to find them ourselves, that´s the way it should be. By doing this, we are going to grow spiritually and we´ll encourage others to do so.

In Christ,

Isaias Gabriel
